Ask Lemmy

There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra.

If you put those songs in...anything, you're a fucking hack.

WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There's nothing you can use it to say that hasn't already been said by someone more clever than you.

FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. "We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what's the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?" "You're not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It's already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?"

It's weird how many people are mentioning older songs, because most modern songs are absolute trash. Just a refrain, singing the same 3 autotuned notes again and again.

Any modern country song. bonus if they say boots, beer, etc.

Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.

I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.

It doesn't make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

Kokomo

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It is the only song I seriously hate, and also the only artist I seriously hate hearing. I don't love the message, and Ialso don't like the delivery at all. I think a factor is also how overplayed it was when it first came out.

"Last Christmas", any version

Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can't stand it.

Pour Some Sugar On Me. It's so terrible.

Currently, that shitty pop song that sampled "Blue" by Eiffle 65. It was already a perfectly good club song (imo) and there was no need to ruin it.

Hey Soul Sister by Train.

Whatever coldplay song is on the radio

Wild World, by Cat Stevens. Some of the most patronizing lyrics I've ever heard. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/catstevens/wildworld.html

Might be "Bohemian Rhapsody", or "We will Rock You". Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.

And "Horse With No Name", because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.

KPop. I can’t stand the boy bands and the weird fan culture.

Knocking on heavens door - guns and roses
